A Cinematic & Musical Masterpiece: ‘All Day I Dream About Sport’
Pharrell’s All Day I Dream About Sport is a 20-minute cinematic experience co-directed with acclaimed filmmaker Gabriel Moses. The film provides an in-depth look at West African culture, blending anthropological insights with an emotionally rich narrative. The project extends beyond the screen, as it will also be accompanied by a hardcover book set for release this spring.
A Unique Artistic Vision
According to the film’s official description:
“A loose visual narrative that combines anthropological insights with an emotional exploration of life, the film showcases a freeform approach to filmmaking that expands upon Moses’ music videos for artists like Skepta and Travis Scott.”
The film was produced by the award-winning production company DIVISION with the support of Adidas—the title itself referencing a long-standing urban myth about the sportswear brand’s name standing for “All Day I Dream About Sports.”
A key theme of the film is “the sport of everyday life”, a concept that resonates deeply within African communities, showcasing the endurance, resilience, and passion of individuals in Dakar, Senegal’s capital city.
The Soundtrack: A Pharrell-Produced Masterpiece
The soundtrack for All Day I Dream About Sport features three original songs produced by Pharrell, with “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face” as one of its standout tracks. The song is prominently featured in the film’s cowboy-themed centerpiece, adding a powerful sonic backdrop to the film’s striking visuals.
Although the full soundtrack has yet to be released on streaming platforms, a lengthy snippet of “Mike Tyson Blow to the Face” has already surfaced, generating buzz among fans of Pusha T and Pharrell’s iconic collaborations.

His brother and partner-in-rhyme, Malice, added: “This is smart basketball. It’s fundamentals. And not only that, it’s authenticity. It’s what rap should look like if you’re real about your craft, real about your experience, real about your storytelling […] This is what the true evolution of the Clipse looks like.”

Although an official release date has yet to be announced, Pusha T recently confirmed that the album is finished and ready to drop.
During an interview with journalist Ari Melber last December, he reassured fans: “We always take long, people be mad. [But] it’s okay ’cause it’s done. I’m telling y’all, it’s done. I promise you. It’s in my phone.”
